| 4 | Depression and Anxiety | F | 46 | 7 months 2 mg 1X day | 12/15/2023 | 4 | Major Depression, Anxiety, Anger | Overall not too many bad side effects definite increase in appetite and a bit of fatigue at times but overall the place I was at mentally before I started taking this drug was a lot worse than where I'm at now after being on it for a while. Every medication affects everyone differently but this one works for me. I take 1 mg Rexulti and 300mg Wellbutrin daily every morning. | M | 28 | 4 months 1MG 1X day | 8/29/2023 | 2 | SAD and agitation | I can't stay asleep and I struggle to fall asleep. I've already gained 5 pounds. I feel more depressed and have crying spells. My doctor increased me from .5 mg to 1 mg and I feel worse. To top it off, I have pre existing very high cholesterol and that's the trade off to avoid prescribing me a benzodiazepene despite that I have schizophrenia for Christ's sake. The voices have decreased with Rexulti but the trade off doesn't feel worth while. | F | 29 | 21 days 1 mg 1X day | 8/25/2023 | 3 | MDD, Anxiety | While switching from Effexor to Pristiq 50mg physc added Rexulti it worked for a few weeks but have recently noticed it's not doing to the job to improve with depression but it has for anxiety. Zero motivation, zero energy, low mood. :/ | Dissatisfied and disappointed | F | 56 | 35 days 1mg 1X day | 8/21/2023 | 1 | depression | Became almost completely non-functioning and did not care about anything. | The extent that I was non-functioning was so concerning that I was going to ask my counselor what being hospitalized in a mental facility entailed. I would walk 10 ft. to living room chair and sit there for an hour before I would turn on T.V. and continue to kitchen to get glass of water despite being thirsty. Didn't care about or enjoy anything. Due to holiday & pharmacist illness, I ran out for 5 days; I awoke the 6th day feeling like a completely different person. | F | 56 | 7 months 2 mg 1X day | 2/19/2023 | 2 | Depression | lightheaded weight gain sad no motivation | F | 75 | 6 months .5 mg 1X day | 1/25/2023 | 1 | Depression and nerve pain | It caused me massive weight gain and super increase in appetite to the point that my stomach is growling and hurting and making me feel sick. I recently had my labs done and it has increased my blood sugar to almost 300 fasting. It also increased my triglycerides to 590. My psychiatrist told me he would have to wean me off it and try Cymbalta. This is devastating to me because rexulti completely takes away my nerve damage pain. I am so scared to get off it but it is ruining my weight and quality of life | F | 61 | 100 days 2 mil 1X day | 11/11/2022 | 1 | MMD | Day 1 took 0.5mg at bedtime woke feeling numb but hopeful that night took second dose but only half 0.25mg today woke up out of sorts and agitated I will NOT continue | F | 44 | 0 days 0.5mg 1X day | 10/15/2022 | 4 | Bipolar 1 severe depression | Weight gain, fatigue | This medication made a huge difference. It brought me out the worst depression with anxiety I’ve ever experienced. My mood is pleasantly elevated. I’ve gained 10lbs, however. Decaf coffee seems to help with fatigue. | F | 47 | 3 months 1 | 10/11/2022 | 1 | Mdd | Horrible headaches, fatigue, no motivation, twitches in hand and chin. Having trouble quitting it, it's like I'm addicted to it, very scary withdrawal so I end up taking it again. | F | 65 | 1 years .5 mg 1X day | 7/15/2022 | 1 | Asked my doctor for it after seeing | I felt bad after that one pill! It probably works well on Schizo or Bipolar people. I just wanted to boost my Lexapro. Dr. also said it makes some hungrier. Just had a jumpy feeling. Not anything good. | F | 62 | 1 days Lowest dos 1X day | 6/1/2022 | 4 | Depression | 58 | 6 months 1MG 1X day | 4/17/2022 | 2 | Anxiety | Worked well for anxiety. But perpetually tired no matter how well slept. No energy, no sex drive, no will to do anything. | M | 59 | 90 days 2mg 1X day | 3/31/2022 | 1 | Depression | Felt great the first few weeks. But then the bottom fell out. Depression came back worst than when I started. Not able to control my emotions. | M | 49 | 60 days 1.5 mg 1X day | 5/23/2021 | 4 | Depression | Weight gain !!! Increased cholesterol | M | 49 | 5 years 1.5 1X day | 5/3/2021 | 3 | depression | weight gain | took away depression but gained 30 pounds ! | F | 60 | 30 days 30 mg 1X day | 4/25/2021 | 3 | depression and anxiety | I've been on Rexulti for four months. I've gained 20 pounds and I've experienced exhaustion that I didn't know was possible. It's very hard to get out of bed and do my job. I get ten plus hours of sleep a night and it's never enough. My depression is slightly better. | F | 49 | 4 days 1 mg 1X day | 4/16/2021 | 3 | Bipolar disorder and depression | Weight gain, fatigue, food cravings, drowsiness | It worked great at first but then I gained a bunch of weight. | F | 51 | 1 years 1mg 1X day | 2/28/2021 | 1 | Anxiety/Panic | Low BP, agitation, confusion, dizziness, no sex drive, no emotional output, no excitement | Apparently It doesn't matter the mg your on. .25 mg is as low as it goes, this drug has almost ruined my life. I'm also on clonazepam for panic, Lamictal and lexapro. I'll take the extra anxiety and panic any day. Don't get me wrong it makes the obsessive thoughts go away but it has ruined my quality of life | M | 37 | 35 days .25 1X day | 2/14/2021 | 1 | Mood Stabilizer | This medication caused migraine level headaches on a daily basis. Body was sore. It made depression worse. | F | 48 | 30 days .5 | 1/24/2021 |
